How Oto is put together

Read this once, top to bottom, and the repository should be navigable without a guide. The package is laid out in the order a project moves through it, and so is this page.

Generated from the engine's architecture document at v0.6.1, one page per section.

Concepts

• One sentence
• The shape of a fact
• From a document to the graph
• Ontologies: the unit a project starts from
• Packs: the extension a person installs
• Rules, and what a derived fact is
• Actions: the graph's hands, described and never invoked
• Views: a web app the user passes, fed by the graph
• The pending lane, the preview and watch mode

Deployment

• A project as a repository
• Neo4j, the production store
• The HTTP front end and the graph as data
• Environment variables
• Dependencies, on purpose

Inside the engine

• The lifecycle, and the code behind each step
• The judgment steps, and the skills that carry them
• The compile stages
• What a project holds
• How a raw file moves
• Where to add things
